The doctrines and creeds of men I refer to are those that did not adhere to the Bible. For the first 400 years, there were Apostles and their workers who preached the Word of God, also the text of the bible was already existent it just had not been collected into a single work. Paul's letters were still around at this time and had been copied many times. Some will suggest that this copying would have produced errors but if that is so then we cannot trust the present bible as it was based upon these earlier texts.
